How Children Play on Soft Play

Ever wondered what joy children derive from soft play? Or are you baffled why soft play is so popular with younger children? Read on to find out how children play on soft play and the benefits of soft play in the growth, development and learning of children.

Sensory Childhood Play

Play is an essential part of childhood, perhaps even the most important part of childhood and soft play, in particular our excellent range of soft play climbing frames and party packages aids that.

To children, soft play is freedom and fun. Freedom to climb, to roll around, to roly poly and rumble and tumble to balance and crawl and play in a softer and safer environment - as they want to. You don't need to teach them to play - children will figure it out themselves.

We've noticed that children don't get bored of our soft play and ball ponds at parties because its not structured play - they can play how they want, they have the freedom to play.

It's why our soft play packages at Dancing Cubs are so great and popular. We provide play with a purpose - activity. Climbing, crawling, wriggling, jumping, leaping are some of the examples of how children play on our active soft play sets and well spaced mats.

At Dancing Cubs we understand that sensory play is an important part of growing, learning and development. This is why we're dedicated to only providing the best possible play areas, ensuring children have the best play time possible every time you hire from us.

We know that physical activity for children is invaluable, especially nowadays when children spend a lot of time watching screens. The extensive range of soft play options we have for hire allows children to develop through hours of fun, whilst interacting and socialising with other children.

When you hire soft play from us you'll be pleased to know that the content of our soft play packages looks good but also serves a purpose that encourages all of the above. Its why we're so passionate about what we do.

We've observed the way children play over the years and it is always a delight to see children have an absolutely splendid time on our soft play because its so functional. Every soft play piece has a purpose. When we're putting together our packages, we ask ourselves, "how will children play," ensuring the fun value is not lost in how pretty the colours are or in matching the theme is to the party décor.

At the heart of what we do is the desire to ensure that every child who uses any of our play areas has an absolute blast.

Soft Play Functionality and Play Value

You might think that soft play is all the same by looking at pictures online, however, there is a huge difference - and not all the soft play for hire in London is the same. Children can tell the difference between superior and inferior quality soft play when they're interacting with it. A vital key to the function of soft play is how weight-bearing, sturdy and well-constructed it is.

If the soft play and other play equipment holds weight well (which will happen when quality foam is used like all of our soft play and ball ponds), children can balance more easily and aren't afraid of falling, so feel more confident in exploring.

This is particularly important in younger children just finding their feet and balance while playing.

Soft play - and in particular our sturdy and strong soft play packages - will really build confidence in young children and help them develop gross motor skills.

While playing on our soft play, children are also developing and enhancing social skills like sharing and talking.

Large, active based pieces like our soft play step and slide allows toddlers to step up and crawl, roll or slide down, enjoying hours of fun play. Soft play content like this is perfect for developing children’s balance, creativity, coordination and spatial awareness skills.

The PVC exterior on all of our soft play is made from the very highest quality UK sourced 610gsm PVC material: which is non-toxic & fire retardant. It complies to the very latest British standard & European safety legislations.
